Ontario tamers annually lose hundreds of dollars from parasites in sheep and hogs. Dr. L. S, Stev enson has made a .special study of this problem and has written, sever al bulletins, copies of which can be obtained from your local Depart ment of Agriculture. Commercial fertilizers when ap plied to various crops in conjunc tion with good farming methods give big returns, "Phosphates increase yields of almost all crops on almost all types of soils, Potash pays es pecially on the sandy soils. Nitro gen for most farm crops should, as far as possible, 'be obtained from growing legumes. Free Seed On© of the great vital forces re sponsible for success tn lagidculture is good seed, declares the Ontario Agricultural and Experimental Un ion, in announcing that it is pre pared this year to distribute to farmers free of charge, into every township, county and district of On tario, .selected seed of the best vari eties of field crops. Any farmer can obtain a list giving the details of this seed distribution for test purposes from this local agricultur al representative. Included dn the list are seeds for grain crops, root crops, forage, fodder, silage and hay crops, culinary crops, fertilizer ex periments and a number of miscel laneous experiments. Renewed War on corn Borer The need for renewed warfare on the corn borer was emphasized at the anuual convention of corn bor er inspectors of Western Ontario at London, when Prof, L. 'Caesar, pro vincial entomologist, led the discus sion and issued instructions to the inspectors. Large corn producing counties of Western Ontario are fac ed with the possibility of another serious corn borer epidemic as a result of the prolonged drought. Un less much stubble plowing is done by farmers and inspectors give care ful surveillance, serious damage to corn, fields may result. The new situation is unusual because of the pronounced drought last summer. Corn stubble became dry. The corn borer did not find the dry stubble to his liking and instead of spendr in.g the winter in the stalk about an inch above the ground, as usual, it Went deeper into the root,. In the past many* farmers have simply cut the corn level with the ground, 'thus avoiding plowing the stubble under. This plan would not be effective under the new condition and a cam paign is being started to have all stubble^ plowed under before the middle of May, despite the manner in which the corn was cut. Better seed pays big dividends in crop improvement. Production may •be increased from 10 to 14 pounds per bushel and from 10 to' 14 bush els per acre by sowing only 'large plump seed. The farmer will find it a paying proposition to .get the oil'd fanning mill out of the store house, fit it' up properly with some screens and make a genuine clean- up of seed this spring. Interesting Swine Course Despite a heavy snowstorm which made roads almost impassable, ap proximately sixty young men were in attendance at the special swine course held under auspices of the Council of Canadian Meat Packers and Provincial and Federal Depart ments of Agriculture at Montreal packing plants on March, 9th, 10th, and 11th. It was voted the most successful course yet held in East ern Ontario. The program consist ed of lectures and demonstrations on types of live hogs and dressed carcasses and animaT parasites, as well as competitions in the judging and grading of live hogs and dress ed carcasses. The following coun ties were represented in the gather ing: Carleton,. Glengarry, Grenville, Dundas, Renfrew, Lanark, Lennox and Addington, Prescott and Rus sell, Leeds and Frontenac. 55c a Bushel For Barley Resulting from a conference in the office of the Minister of Agricul ture, the Canadian Malting Com pany Ltd., is offering to pay a^min LEG FRACTURED Miss Marjorie McEwan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alex McE'Wian, of Stanley township happened with a peculiar accident when .returning home from school one. evening.

Exeter and Hensall Druggists. News and Information for The Busy Farmer (Furnished by the Ontario Departirent pt Agriculture) imum price of 55c a bushel for 0u-; tario barley, on ana after Septem ber leu 1931j delivered at Mont real. The company will accept 1»- 000,009 bushels of barley at that price, providing it is sound and clean and reasonably free from other grains and weighing 48. pounds to, the bushel, This is equivalent of the grain grade known as "Three Extra" and in a normal year should be easily -obtained by. the • average farmer in Ontario. Barley has long been regarded by many farm ers as a cash crop in the counties of Essex, Kent, Middlesex Elgin apd Perth, and it is hoped this announce ment will .give new confidence to these growers. A Montreal price of 55c. would mean f, o. b. prices ap proximately as follows: Main line, Chatham and surrounding points^ 40c,; off lines, side lines or radial lines in same territory, 37c,; Cen tral Ontario points, 42c,; Eastern. Ontario and op to Montreal, 46c. These prices apply only to carlot shipments. This offer is 20c to 25c per bushel better than present prices on the Montreal market and should grealy encourage barley pro duction in those counties where the crop is well and favorably known. An Advisory Committee Immediately after the present le gislative session, the Government will appoint an advisory board to aid Hon, Tlios. L. Kennedy, Minis ter of Agriculture in the adminis tration of departmental affairs apd in .solving present-day farm products It will probably comprise tnree mem bers—one representative from the dairying industry; a second from the cattle, hog and sheep industries and a third from the poultry raising, interests. It will be absolutely nop- politioa'l in composition and scope. The members will receive fair 're muneration for their time, as well as travelling expenses, Weekly Crcp Report There is a general feeling through out the province that' the recent heavy snowstorm has been of ines- tihable value, according to the weekly report of agricultural re presentatives in various counties. Fields are well covered and prophets are most optimistic regarding the condition of wheat and clover stands. Orchards in Dundas have been receiving attention with some pruning already done. In Fronten ac the number of sows farrowing this year shows an increase of about 100 per cent, over last spring. Ex cepting for the .syrup industry, few preparations have been made tor spring work in Glengarry. Increased interest in certified seed is manifest in Grenville. Tn spite of bad roads, the soils and crops meetings in Hal- dimand are being very well attend ed. Farmers in Huron are indicat ing increased interest in better seed and fanning mills are being put in shape for screening work. In Middle sex, orchard pruning work has been general, while breeding stations at Welland report heavy ' orders for good quality hatching eggs. . New High Quality Reed Farmer’s feeders and poultrymen will be interested in the production of a new high quality feed for poul try, swine and young livestock. This feed, called Oat Groats, is made by taking the hulls off oats thus great ly reducing the, fibre, increasing the protein and lowering the cost of the food nutrients by a saving in freight. Although there is some variation in the chemical analysis the average sample shows about 17 % protein and from 2^% to 3% fibre. Oat Groats are fairly high in fat also containing about 8% of this valuable nutrient'. For young calves, young pigs and all ages of poultry, this feed will prove valuable in assist ing rapid growth and general vigor because of the high protein and low fibre content. The price of this pro duct is very low when the feed val ue is compared to other feeds, By 'buying this seed in carlot quantities and using Canadian Bar ley to replace corn, tne cost of pro duction of poultry and livestock prducts' can be subgcautially reduc ed. Farmers and poultrymen are advised to get in touch with theit feed dealers regarding these pro ducts.
